For Once In Your Life (Live - The Roxy Theatre July 17, 2007)
You just don't love me And I just don't care Oh, I never said I would play fair Something so perfect and so rare There is no cure There's not a prayer, a prayer Look what I can do
I am the only perfect choice You've met your match I've lost my voice And when you're gone it gets so cold I swear I'm too young to be this old, this old Look what I can do
Oh, I've been cheated Covered in diamonds and covered in filth But I'm still breathing Oh, please stick around and I'll build
Yes, I've crawled on glass To grasp at straws Stuttering, staggering through And I've pierced the last hole in my arm To gouge out the pieces of you
And your staggering, stuttering greed And your never ending need And your terrible awful deeds And your lack of truth in these things
You know the whole thing is writ You'll always quit You always did To the most delusional stare And all that I have is out And laid bare And laid bare Look what I can do Look what I can do Look what I can do
Oh, I've been bitter You know what's true And you know what's right Oh, I'm forever Oh, just do the right thing For once In your life In your life
I know that I'm a hungry lost girl But please stick around and I'll build you a world I'll build you a world I'll build you a world
